DEFENDERDECK™

FREEDOMTUFF® DEFENDERDECK™ is an integrative group of hand applied coatings utilizing an epoxy primer and multiple two component polyurethanes that provide an elastomeric waterproof coating with a theoretical dry film thickness of 44± mils (1117.6 microns) for vehicular traffic. These coatings are 100% solids, solvent free and odorless, applied vertically or horizontally on concrete forming a continuous seamless membrane.

APPLICATION

Throughout the application the sanded surface must be clean and dry.

PRIMER STEP ONE: The substrate may require more than one coat of FreedomTuff® primer. After selection of primer, mix and immediately pour primer onto the substrate at a rate of 100 to 200 square feet per gallon (9.29030m² to 18.5806m² per liter) in enough quantity to obtain a minimum theoretical dry film thickness of 8 mils (203.2 microns) per coat.

Do not apply more primer to substrate than can be coated with FreedomTuff® 4280 within eighteen (18) hours of application. is not coated within the allotted time, sand and re-apply primer.

Allow primer to become tack free prior to application of FreedomTuff® 4280.

For optimum results proceed with application while air and substrate temperatures are between 40º F (4.4° C) and 104° F (40° C) 6º (-14.44º C) above the dew point and rising.

FreedomTuff® 4280 Part-B should be mixed individually prior to

combining, add Part-A to Part-B while mixing, using a mechanical mixer at medium speed making sure not to encapsulate any air. Mix until a homogeneous mixture and color is obtained (a minimum of 2 minutes is recommended).

STEP TWO: Apply 1¼ gallon (4.731765 liters) per 100 square feet of FreedomTuff® 4280 in enough quantity to obtain a minimum theoretical 20 mils dry (508 microns) film thickness (or more to meet architectural specification). Immediately pour the FreedomTuff® 4280 onto the horizontal surface and spread evenly over the entire surface using notched trowel or squeegee then back roll using a ¼ “mohair roller with a phenolic resin core.

Recoat window is within 24 hours of application, if not recoated within 24 hours, sand and re-prime the surface and proceed with recoat.

NOTE: Turn radii and ramps require an additional coat of FreedomTuff® 4280 at 1-gallon (3.78541 liters) per 100 square feet or in enough quantity to obtain a minimum theoretical 16 mils dry (406.4 microns) film thickness.

STEP THREE: Apply ¾ gallons (2.83906 liters) per 100 square feet of FreedomTuff® 4295 in enough quantity to obtain a minimum theoretical 12 mils dry (304.8 microns) film thickness (or more to meet architectural specification). Immediately pour the FreedomTuff® 4295 onto the horizontal surface and spread evenly over the entire surface using notched trowel or squeegee then back roll using a ¼ “mohair roller with a phenolic resin core.

Prior to its full set, broadcast a washed, dry, rounded, contamination free 20 x 40 nominal sieve size sand (0.0331”/.850 millimeters, .0165”/.425 millimeters) with 6.5 Moh’s minimum hardness into the FreedomTuff® 4295, to achieve a slip-resistant finish.

Excess aggregate must be completely removed.

Do not apply more FreedomTuff® 4295 than can be top coated within twenty-four (24) hours. Allow Step four to dry prior to application of FreedomTuff® 4295.

STEP FOUR: Apply ¾ gallon (2.83906) of FreedomTuff® 4295 top coat in enough quantity to obtain a minimum theoretical of 12 mils (304.8 microns). Immediately pour the FreedomTuff® 4295 onto the horizontal surface and spread evenly over the entire using a flat edge squeegee and then back roll using a ¼” mohair roller with a phenolic resin core.

Proceed with application while air and substrate temperatures are between 40° F (4.4º C) and 104° F (40º C).

DRY FILM THICKNESS

Over occupied space Freedom® Chemical Corporation’s FreedomTuff® DefenderDeck™ is a theoretical dry film thickness of 44± mils (1117.6 microns) without sand using FreedomTuff® 4295.

STRIPING

It is recommended that the end user check the suitability of using an epoxy paint for striping. Apply striping within eighteen (18) hours of applying FreedomTuff® top coats.
